Picture source
Where does the "Biological Activities of 3,3'-Diindolylmethane" in the picture come from? More should be written about these properties, or the picture should be removed —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.48.90.60 (talk) 14:26, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Is this legit?
Whenever I read an article like this or come across sites supporting purported wonder drugs/chemicals to fight cancer, I always get a bit skeptical. Can someone who knows something about this topic speak to how big a deal this really is for this particular compound? Is this something that reasonably stands a chance or is this someone's obsession (like how some people are obsessed with Vitamin C for the common cold or the whole amygdalin/laetrile business)? I also noticed a lot of the claims in the article are flagged as citation needed and I wonder if this whole article was written by someone with a conflict of interest in the subject. 142.103.207.10 (talk) 01:29, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

All about DIM (& inflammation) IL-6, COX-2, iNOS, CXCL5, RANKL etc.
Several mouse studies, mostly on cancer, some arthritis.

Claim makes no sense
"In a preliminary study on 64 women, it was well tolerated at the studied dose (2 mg/kg/day), showing some promising results as an immunostimulant against human papilloma virus infection of the cervix, but not at a statistically significant level." (emphasis mine) If it's not "statistically significant", then there are no "promising results". GranoblasticMan (talk) 14:49, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

ATTENTION
It should be noted that DIM is a phytoestrogen RummKoolaq (talk) 07:05, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
